  • 4 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
  • 4 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
  • 2 hard-boiled eggs peeled and chopped
  • 1 whole avocado, diced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 0.5 cup blue cheese, crumbled
  • 0.25 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 0.25 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 to taste salt
  • 1 to taste pepper

Instructions

  1. In a large serving bowl, add the chopped romaine lettuce as the base.
  2. Arrange the shredded chicken breast evenly over the lettuce, creating a colorful layer.
  3. Scatter the crumbled bacon on top of the chicken.
  4. Next, add the chopped hard-boiled eggs in a row for aesthetic appeal.
  5. Layer the diced avocado and halved cherry tomatoes nicely beside the eggs.
  6. Sprinkle the crumbled blue cheese and thinly sliced red onion over the entire salad.
  7. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar (or lemon juice), salt, and pepper to create a dressing.
  8. Drizzle the dressing generously over the salad, and gently toss the ingredients to combine.
  9. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a vibrant finish.

💡 Chef's Notes

Serve the salad on a large platter for sharing, or divide into individual bowls. Add an extra sprig of parsley on top for a pop of color and place a lemon wedge on the side for an additional zesty touch.
